See what she has to say

“‘See, you say you understand me but I don’t really think you do. Whether you like it or not, your education is going to be your main priority. I am taking away some privileges that I think will help you to truly understand how much you have to offer the world without your silly makeup and clothes.”

I’m listening to what she’s saying- she’s taken my makeup before, when I was like 13 for back talking her- but why did she mention clothes? I know she’s not exactly a fan of my style- I’m very extra, whereas she keeps her wardrobe simple and classically influenced. Just as an example, that day I wore a little pink tank top and a black cardigan, a little tiered skirt coming right at the midpoint of my thighs, vans, and of course jewelry on my hands, neck, and ears. What did she mean, what I can offer the world without my makeup and clothes?

“Mom what are you talking about, everyone wears clothes,” I reply sarcastically
